EAST LANSING - With the students back on campus following Christmas break and a hardnosed basketball team squaring off against Michigan State Wednesday night's game between the Spartans and Minnesota had an old school Big Ten flavor.

Following Michigan State's 60-53 win and the subsequent press conference and post-game interviews, SpartanMag.com staffers Jim Comparoni and Paul Konyndyk went out to the court at the Breslin Center to share their initial thoughts on MSU's latest Big Ten win.

Among the topics touched upon in the latest SpartanMag.com v-cast was the improved play of Durrell Summers, who sparked MSU with 12 first-half points and a number of athletic rebounds.

Comparoni and Konyndyk also spent time discussing the strong contribution from Kalin Lucas, Draymond Green, and Chris Allen, who struggled shooting the ball overall but made two huge baskets down the stretch against the Golden Gophers.
